I’ve been here a long time, happy to be Senior Editor. My kids are ok with me being a nerd (at least I think so, but they’ve left home, so, like, who knows). Hubby rolls his eyes. Covering Outlander and a variety of other current shows, movies and books.
A new trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming release of Dune on October 22 came out just minutes ago! All of our favorites – and all of the villains – look simply amazing. While I still have some concerns about Timothee Chalamet as the story’s main figure, Paul Atreides, I suspect that the actual film will […]
House hunting? Or maybe you’re looking to sell? If you need some help, you might think twice about hiring The Roman Agency – but if you’re looking for a fun new show, you definitely want to sign that contract for Surreal Estate. Syfy’s new 10-episode paranormal comedy/drama series starts tomorrow night (Friday nights, 10 pm […]
For the last month, you haven’t been able to turn around without banging into an ad for Amazon Prime’s new sci-fi action thriller The Tomorrow War. Twitter, Facebook, TV, TikTok, Prime have all been shoving this film, which was supposed to have been released in theaters about the time the pandemic hit us. I always […]
He’s played young military figures, a cyber-enhanced bad guy, a debonair spy, and of course, a kilted heartthrob. Now, Sam Heughan seems to have found a role that will use his Munro-climbing passion, as a mountain climber vying to be the first to conquer Mt. Everest. Heughan will star in Everest, with fellow Scot Ewan […]
Who wouldn’t want to dash around the Highlands with Jamie, trying to be his favorite, and rescuing him from trouble on the way? That definitely sounds like a fun time, even if all you can do is dream about it. Or IS that all you can do? NO! Sometime this fall, a brand new board […]
This season, the quiet part is said out loud on The Handmaid’s Tale. Season 4 started with a three-episode drop this week, and loyal viewers had their share of heart-dropping, stomach-churning moments, a ride that shows no sign of slowing down. This review is obviously late. I’ve had screeners of the first several episodes for […]
For all that I’ve written about Outlander over the past several years – casting, reviews, related book promos, merchandise – I’m first and foremost a fan of the book series. It’s been one of the joys of my life to read and reread this tremendous series, to talk with Diana both in person and online, […]
Ending the first season (we hope not the only) of Men In Kilts, we are taken to the sacred ground of Culloden. Far from being some ancient battle with no meaning for today, Culloden continues to ring through Scotland, marking a period “before” and a period “after,” when the country was forever changed. Sam and […]
One bonus Outlander has given us is an introduction to many talented people, some who are involved with the production and some who aren’t. The Scottish Highlands seem to be an incubator for the talented and creative, and it’s always amazing to come across them. One such person is Clare Campbell, who opened what is […]
One more episode! This week’s episode, focusing on clans and tartans (although not much on the latter) was, as usual, quick paced, witty and informative – and somehow better put together than last week’s. Sam and Graham’s banter – on a ski lift (to where, though?) with Graham’s fear of heights on show again; in […]
